Surely the way to do it is to ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to see if he can give the OPW a quick turnaround for an overview. I have always found it to be a meticulous office. Surely the Comptroller and Auditor General would point out the OPW's shortcomings sharply and make suggestions, recommendations and so on. If the OPW has €25,000 to carry out that type of report, would Mr. Conlon consider carrying out a report headed by the question, "Is the administration of the OPW fit for purpose?" That is looking to the future and considering all we have heard today. I should not forget to mention that there are good people at every level in the OPW but they do not get the break. Should the OPW be considering its structures for the future to deliver all we are asking of it and value for money? Perhaps there are new and different management systems out there. It would be worthwhile considering that.
